Actually, it's jerks like you that are intent on destroying everyone's
enjoyment of the hobby. FYI - it's the hams that have entered the hobby
over the last 17 years that have boosted and improved the effectiveness of
the service in times of national emergency. Everyone's sick of listening to
whiners like you with your prognostications of doom and gloom.

Do the hobby at large a favor and go phuk yourself...

All you old timers & O.M.'s, cancel your memberships! The ARRL board of
directors and section managers are intent on destroying your enjoyment of
the hobby and also in destroying the effectiveness of the service in times
of national emergency. I'm sick at how the bands have become sounding like
CB over the last 17 years, and the League is still intent on making things
worse. So Phuk'em
